One of the hidden secrets of the Amazonas’s cloud forest, rock paintings, shows the life of ancient people that live in these tropical mountains six thousand years ago. There are over 10,000 rock paintings discovered so far, which are spread in faraway places on the basin of the Marañón and the Utcubamba rivers, in the region of Amazonas and some are in Cajamarca.
Most of the paintings depict hunting scenes, where deer and other animals are portrayed. Among the colors used on this ancient art are yellow, red, black, brown, and white. Locals are evaluating the possibilities of including some of these sites in the current tourist routes in order to benefit their communities.
